“For this reason, we are working to establish the facilities needed for a variety of outdoor pursuits, including hiking, biking, paragliding, camping, caravan travel, mountaineering, and rock climbing. We ordered feasibility studies, particularly for trekking trails, to be conducted by our Directorate of Forestry, Nature Conservation, and National Parks.

Regarding the field execution of these initiatives. As part of these efforts, they plan to provide the tracks to the tourism industry in 2024. Most recently, we worked on a paragliding project through MARKA in December. Here in Yalova, there are at least four trails. In one way or another, we want these tracks prepared for paragliding. Naturally, we then want paragliding to be available to tourists via travel agents.”
